"It is amazing how one ship's service and quality can differ from another." -Overheard at Costa Magica Buffet on Day 1 of Voyage
This cruise was to be the last for at least 5 years for my wife and I. We are about to start a family and know traveling will be difficult with little ones, and of course there is the financial cost to consider as well. We had taken four prior cruises and one other on the Costa Mediterranea. This in only three years of marriage! To say the least, we love cruising. And we thought we loved Costa.
Things started going wrong almost immediately.
